U J4 Four Legislative Plans Discussed For Constitution Salem-WPD-The House and Senate Committees on Consti tutional Revision concluded testimony Tuesday on four legislative reapportionment plans. The committees are seeking to work out an apportionment plan for a new state constitu tion. Oregon's present plan pro vides for handing out legisla tive seats on a basis of popu lation. Districts take in one or more counties. Each district gets one senator for each 130 of the state's population and a representative for each 160, or for a major fraction. In practice, this is not al ways workable since sizes of the houses are fixed at 30 and 60 members. It cannot, however, vary more than 3-1. Flexibility Eyed The latest proposal, and the one the- committees seem likeliest to adopt, is the Han sell plan. It would retain the basic features of the present plan with one major excep tion: Sizes of the houses would be flexible. Rep. Stafford Hansell (R Hermiston) said his plan, like the present one, could not vary by more than 3-1 in relative voter , strength, but others said the variance could be wider. Two ' other plans would move even closer to the "one man, one vote" principle than Oregon is now,, The plan proposed by the Constitutional Revision Com mission would do away with the necessity of drawing all districts along county boun dary lines, making it easier to shape districts so that there would be the same number of voters per legislator. It would permit a variance in voter strength no greater than 2-1. The Bi-Partisan League to Retain Euqal Representation would go even further, tight ening up the criteria for dis tricts so that one voter's strength could not exceed another's by more than 1-10. Other Highlights Veterans' Loans: The Sen ate Military Affairs Commit tee approved a bill to expand eliglblity for loans to all vet erans residing in Oregon. National Guard: A measure to permit appointment of a second assistant adjutant gen eral for the state's Military Department was approved by the Senate Military Affairs Committee. OMSI: A bill designed to "phase out" state aid for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry passed the Sen ate and went to the governor. It provides $20,000 for the first year of the 1963-65 bien nlurrf and $15,000 the second year. Hospital: Rep. Beulah Hand (D-Milwaukie) termed a pro posed budget cut for the State Hospital as "inhumane". She said the hospital was oper ated with 74 fewer staff mem bers than authorized by the 1961. legislature. Whltticr, Calif.-IUPD-Deter. gent is a deterrent to traffic at a sudsy intersection here.

Floret iellt hit ttory from hotpiial bed in White- hone, Yukon. By RALPH FLORES At Told to UPI Whitehorse, Yukon - IUPD - This was my first accident and I've flown about 450 hours in about 12 years. ' It must have .been meant to happen. But I m glad it s all over, and some day I hope to write a book about it all. I kept a diary for some of the time, but then stopped. I'm going back to my plane to get it before going home to California, and I will write a book about my experiences. How did it happen? It was bad weather and heavy fog. We were following a course which was to take us to Fort St. John (British Columbia). Suddenly we ran into the bad weather and fog. I lost contact with my radio beam and I didn't know our direc tion. Everything was happening at once. ' -. N I dropped from 7,000 feet to 3,000 feet to try and get below the fog to get my bear ings. I was also trying to get back in contact with the radio beam. One of my gasoline tanks Telephone Rate Increase Suspended Salem - IUPD - Revised rate schedules filed by the Oregon Washington Telephone Co were suspended Tuesday by the public utility commis sioner.

Begin To Drop When I was about to change tanks, the one I was flying on became exhausted. We began to drop. The oth er tank didn't switch over. I could see the trees coming at me.

The proposals were an nounced to the chamber of commerce membership in a committee report at Tuesday's chamber meeting here. The committee suggested that one sign be erected in California south of Weed to gain the attention of travelers who might otherwise elect to take Highway 97 through Klamath Falls instead of Highway 99. A second Sign could be erected somewhere near the Siskiyou summit, and a third just before motorists reach the south Ashland interchange. The committee also sug-1 gested establishing a roadside park near the freeway with a map posted there showing the scenic points of interest in the area and possibly a bulletin board with a calendar of events. Suggested as a theme for Ashland to be used on the signs was "Gateway to the Rogue River Valley."
